mwifiex: cfg80211: do not change virtual interface during scan processing
(1) Change virtual interface operation in cfg80211 process reset and reinitilize private data structure. (2) Scan result event processed in main process will dereference private data structure concurrently, ocassionly crash the kernel. The cornel case could be trigger by below steps: (1) wpa_cli mlan0 scan (2) ./hostapd mlan0.conf Cfg80211 asynchronous scan procedure is not all the time operated under rtnl lock, here we add the protect to serialize the cfg80211 scan and change_virtual interface operation.
